Where were You

by Nick Kreiner - Sagittarius

Where were you?

Today I achieved one of my dreams
But it was a hollow victory I soon found
I was happy at first, of course thinking
What would you think?  I thought you’d be happy
But you weren’t there
Where were you?

Now my lifes in motion and moving forward
All the things we wanted together are on their way
But I’ve no one to share them with
So I mope, I’m depressed, I’m alone most of all
But I can’t find you.  Anymore.
Where were you?

I guess I keep the answer to that question inside
One of the things I can’t admit because it hurts 
Of course I miss you.  It’s not a question I can’t answer
Because I knew where you were
You were with him
You left me alone for him.

So now we’ll never see our dreams achieved
We’ll never get married or own a house, 
Or have kids, 2 cars, none of it.  
My dreams are hollow now.  I really can’t
Keep them straight.  Whats mine?  What’s ours?
Where were you?


There is no you and me.  You left me for him
My achievements aren’t for us, but for me
But if I could trade them for you I might do it.
Because I love you.  But you left me.
Now I wonder… all the time that I was in love…
Where were you?

Reason for writing:

    This poem was written when I was most alone, after my girlfriend left me for one of my best friends.
